Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thought that is forever flowing through one's head.

Honest winter, snow clad and with the frosted beard, I can welcome not uncordially; but that long deferment of the calendar's promise, that weeping loom of March and April, that bitter blast outraging the honor of May -- how often has it robbed me of heart and hope.

George Robert Gissing

I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That's what our purpose is in this business. You're merchandised, you're a product. You're sold and it's based on sex. But that's okay. I think women should be empowered by that, not degraded.

Megan Fox

It is the ultimate wisdom of the mountains that a man is never more a man than when he is striving for what is beyond his grasp.

James Ramsey Ullman

Divorce is one of the most financially traumatic things you can go through. Money spent on getting mad or getting even is money wasted.

Richard Wagner

Great merit, or great failings, will make you respected or despised; but trifles, little attentions, mere nothings, either done or neglected, will make you either liked or disliked in the general run of the world.

Lord Chesterfield

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;who has left the world better than he found it whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;whose life was an inspiration;whose memory a benediction.http://www.rwe.org/pages/in_pursuit_of_the_truth_of_Success.htm

Bessie Anderson Stanley, 1904

It isn't necessary to have relatives in Kansas City in order to be unhappy.

Groucho Marx

The reputation of a man is like his shadow, gigantic when it precedes him, and pigmy in its proportions when it follows.

CharlesMaurice de Talleyrand

Bagel in the morning is the ultimate breakfast for me they're just good.

Lee DeWyze

Guilt starts as a feeling of failure.

Frank Herbert

All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room

Blaise Pascal

Do you often feel like parched ground, unable to produce anything worthwhile? I do. When I am in need of refreshment, it isn't easy to think of the needs of others. But I have found that if, instead of praying for my own comfort and satisfaction, I ask the Lord to enable me to give to others, an amazing thing often happens - I find my own needs wonderfully met. Refreshment comes in ways I would never have thought of, both for others, and then, incidentally, for myself.

Elisabeth Elliot
